Are you looking for an alternative to bash? Are you looking for something more user-friendly? Then look no further because you just found the golden fish!

Fish (friendly interactive shell) is a smart and user-friendly command line shell that works on Linux, MacOS, and other operating systems. Use it for everyday work in your terminal and for scripting. Scripts written in fish are less cryptic than their equivalent bash versions.

Fish’s user-friendly features

  • Suggestions Fish will suggest commands that you have written before. This boosts productivity when typing same commands often.
  • Sane scripting
    Fish avoids using cryptic characters. This provides a clearer and friendlier syntax.
  • Completion based on man pages
    Fish will autocomplete parameters based on the the command’s man page.
  • Syntax highlighting
    Fish will highlight command syntax to make it visually friendly.

Installation

Fedora Workstation

Use the dnf command to install fish:

$ sudo dnf install fish

Make fish your default shell by installing the util-linux-user package and then running the chsh (change shell) command with the appropriate parameters:

$ sudo dnf install util-linux-user
$ chsh -s /usr/bin/fish

You will need to log out and back in for this change to take effect.

Fedora Silverblue

Because this is not GUI application, you will need to layer it using rpm-ostree . Use the following command to install fish on Fedora Silverblue:

$ rpm-ostree install fish

On Fedora Silverblue you will need to reboot your PC to switch to the new ostree image.

If you want to make fish your main shell on Fedora Silverblue, the easiest way is to update the /etc/passwd file. Find your user and change /bin/bash to /usr/bin/fish .

You will needroot privileges to edit the /etc/passwd file. Also you will need to log out and back in for this change to take effect.

Configuration

The per-user configuration file for fish is ~/.config/fish/config.fish . To make configuration changes for all users, edit /etc/fish/config.fish instead.

The per-user configuration file must be created manually. The installation scripts will not create ~/.config/fish/config.fish .

Here are a couple configuration examples shown alongside their bash equivalents to get you started:

Creating aliases

  • ~/.bashrc :

    alias ll='ls -lh'

  • ~/.config/fish/config.fish :

    alias ll='ls -lh'

Setting environment variables

  • ~/.bashrc :

    export PATH=$PATH:~/bin

  • ~/.config/fish/config.fish :

    set -gx PATH $PATH ~/bin

Working with fish

When fish is configured as your default shell, the command prompt will look similar to what is shown in the below image. If you haven’t configured fish to be your default shell, just run the fish command to start it in your current terminal session.

Fish – A Friendly Interactive Shell

As you start typing commands, you will notice the syntax highlighting:

Fish – A Friendly Interactive Shell

Cool, isn’t it?

You will also see commands being suggested as you type. For example, start typing the previous command a second time:

Fish – A Friendly Interactive Shell

Notice the gray text that appears as you type. The gray text is fish suggesting the command you wrote before. To autocomplete it, just press CTRL+F .

Get argument suggestions based on the preceding command’s man page by typing a dash ( ) and then the TAB key:

Fish – A Friendly Interactive Shell

If you press TAB once, it will show you the first few suggestions (or every suggestion, if there are only a few arguments available). If you press TAB a second time, it will show you all suggestions. If you press TAB three times consecutively, it will switch to interactive mode and you can select an argument using the arrow keys.

Otherwise, fish works similar to most other shells. The remaining differences are well documented. So it shouldn’t be difficult to find other features that you may be interested in.

Make fish even more powerful

Make the fish even more powerful with powerline . Powerline adds command execution time, colored git status, current git branch and much more to fish’s interface.

Before installing powerline for fish, you must install Oh My Fish . Oh My Fish extends fish’s core infrastructure to enable the installation of additional plugins. The easiest way to install Oh My Fish is to use the curl command:

> curl -L https://get.oh-my.fish | fish

If you don’t want to pipe the installation commands directly to curl , see the installation section of Oh My Fish’s README for alternative installation methods.

Fish’s powerline plugin is bobthefish . Bobthefish requires the powerline-fonts package.

On Fedora Workstation:

> sudo dnf install powerline-fonts

On Fedora Silverblue:

> rpm-ostree install powerline-fonts

On Fedora Silverblue you will have to reboot to complete the installation of the fonts.

After you have installed the powerline-fonts package, install bobthefish :

> omf install bobthefish

Now you can experience the full awesomeness of fish with powerline:
